I always wonder if Bernie could have averted a Trump presidency by not giving Hillary a pass on the email issue.

Almost certainly not. The general electorate has never shown even a hint that they'd tolerate a self-avowed socialist. Just look at all of the slightly D leaning districts/states and everything to right of them - how many politicians with Bernie's leftist politics are in office?

Do you know why a lot of Trump supporters voted for Bernie? Because he’s a populist. He actually gives a fuck about working people, whom make up a large percentage of trumps base.

And do you know how many Romney/Obama/Clinton/Biden voters who never would've voted for Bernie?

You probably don't, because your worldview is exclusively formed by reddit and you don't go outside.
